19"x8.5F (Generals' 235F) 38 offset
19"x9.5R (Generals' 275R) 38 offset


Do I need to roll fender? If you were me... Would you add some spacers in the back?

it'll be alot of tire for that wheel, but you should be fine. What suspension are you on? I probably wouldn't add a spacer since you're gonna run a 275 tire in the rear. if a 265, then maybe.

why there will be a lot of tires? Can you explain? I really don't want to add spacers... Maybe I will have to to make it look aggressive in the rear. I am VERY worried about how this set up would look like.

You will be just fine but the rear will look a little pushed in. I would recomend a 5mm spacer in the rear to make it ET33. The 275 rear General is really a 265, so you will NOT rub.

Sorry bud, but the Generals run 1 size too small and the 275 in reality is a 265. So he will be okay. By adding a spacer he will make it more flush.

You will be okay, just do the 275 and a 5mm spacer and you will be okay. I have the spacers in stock if you need some help. The ET38 will look really pushed in towards your car. By adding 5mm spacer you will make your rear set up ET33 which is perfect.

ummm say what???

Please explain to me then how does a 275 tire is really a 265 when on their site the overall section width is 10.9 inches OR 276mm. How does that make it a 265? LOL Not to mention the sidewall is more square than other tires.

I've ran general uhp 275 and they are NOT really a 265.

To the OP, i really hope you're not believing this.

btw general tires run pretty wide. If you wanted to run a 275 that will have a better chance of you not rubbing, i'd go with toyo t1r. They run skinnier than normal. Look on their site and their overall width of the tire. It'll say 10.6inches OR 269mm for a 275 tire.

I am confused too lol.... but anyways I really don't like the streched look with 265 width.

Go with a 275

I'd suggest putting a 3mm spacer to bring the offset to a 35mm

With a 35mm offset and a 275.30.19 tire, you will fit w/o rubbing issues

You can do an 8mm spacer as well, but if you do that you'll need rolled fenders.

That offset is conservative all around though, i'd suggest going with wheel taht's actually meant for the car it is going on.

As for the 275.30.19 Generals actually being 265's, that is non-sense, They run wider than the average tire. Take it from someone who bought out all the stock General had left over in that size

265 will not look stretched on 9.5" wheels at all. You could go with 275 to increase the rim protection though.

How would you compare that offset 38/38 to my stock 328i coupe style 157 wheel? Same? or 38/38 looks better (Note that the wheel/tire width are different than my stock 157s)

It will look better, but when doing an after market wheel, you usually put the wheel out about 15-20mm out to give it a nice look

You'll be putting your wheel out 12mm, which will still look good, but keep in mind offset makes a huge difference on aftermarket wheels

If you have a sunken offset on a stock wheel your car just looks stock

If you have a sunken offset on an aftermarket wheel, it looks like you tried and did not succeed
